only accessible BY means Of plank

Abits was in . dangerous condition.

SUNSTROKE-HEAT APO
PLEXY.


PLEXY.
This 10 cansed BY long exposure.
in great beat. especially whom &C
companisd with great fatigue and
exhaustion. Though generally hap
peniug from exposure to tho suns
rays. yet precisely similar effects
may be and are produced from any
undue exposure to great and sx-
haustive heat such a. workmen are
exposed to in foundries. gae facto-
riee bakeries, and other similar
employments.
It's first symptom is pain in the
head and dizziness. quickly follow
ed BY loss Of consciousness. and re-
sulting in complete prostration;
sometimes, however, the attack is
sudden. - in apoplexy. The head
is generally burning hot the face
dark and swollen. the breathing Ia
bored and snoring, and the feet
and hands cold.
TREATMENT.
Remove the patient Ut once to .
cool and shady place and lay him
down, with his head little raised ;
apply ice or iced water TO the head
ard face; loosen all clothes around
the neck or waist; battle the chest
with cold water; apply mustard
p!asters or cloths wetted with tur-
peutine. TO the calves Of the legs
and coles Of the feet, and - soon %
the patient can swallow, give weak
brandy or whisky and water.
DR.. Joseph Holt. President Of
the Board Of Health. Was inter-
viewed last Monday. by . reporter
Of the Times Democrat. relative to
the danger Of sunstrpkes and the
causes leading thereto. and said:
There is q distinction which
must be constantly borne in mind
between true sunstroke, or coup DE-
.olie:, and heat prostration. TIL
former is sudden in its occurrence
and fatal in its tendencies. The
latter is extremely distressful. but
in the vast majority Of instances it
terminates in the speedy recovery
Of the patient
1T would he too lengthy in this
interview to give an account Of the
symptoms charscterizing the effects
Of heat under the two conditions
Just mentioned.
MY experience in military and
civil practice has satisfied me that

potent predisposipg cause Of sun
stroke.
"While it is true that the fnnc-
ticns Of the brain can be annihi.
lated by the sheer intensity of the
suns heat. without special predis-
posing conditions. it 10 nevertheless
q TACT established in general obser-
walton that alcohol is ore of the
most common factors in true sun
stroke.
''The heat prostrntion we eco e.

assemblies. The symptoms are Of
ten very alarming. aud are always
those Of exhaustion. The remedy
is cool ventilation. gentle stimula-
tioL; sometimes perfect rest of body

"Tbe avoidance Of alcohol and

remedies against sunstroks; but in
case OF the actual occurrence oil

cided skill and largo experience to
treat one Of these cases properly"

Starvation in Texas.

AUSTIN. Tex, April 2.-State Senator Wood
ward. of Calhoun county. has received state
ment from Atascosa county. sworn to by four
responsible citizens and Endorsed by the county
judge, sheriff and county clerk. giving the names
of nineteen families in Precincts 3, 5 and of
that county whom the atlantis declare are in
condition of starvation occasioned by the
drouth. The number of persons in each family
is stated, showing a total of LOG persons. The
paper states that these families are unable to
procure sufficient food, and now resorting
in some cases, to eating carcasses of cattle that
have died from starvation and begging bread
from their neiehbors TO sustain life. Those
who would aid them, if possible. are themselves
in distress, and have nothing that can be spared
The signers of the statement appeal for aid
from the Legislature, but as nothing more can
be expected from that source, it is left for the
generous and more fortunate of other counties
to render such aid as they can. The statemen
represents a deplorab!e state of affairs. and
cludes by saying that whatever is done should
be done at once.
